President Trump's impeachment trial set to substantive hearing from dawn on 22 January 18:59 on January 21
The U.S. President Trump's impeachment trial over the allegations of Ukraine will begin a substantive hearing early on the 22nd of Japan time. Earlier, Trump's lawyers filed a rebuttal alleging innocence with the Senate, stating that they were ready to fight head-on.
